Spunky Dentist Charged
by Grand Jury

Sometimes a story just writes itself. This
tasteless tale would be one of those.
Former dentist John Hall was
indicted today on seven counts of assault on his female patients. Remember
Doctor Johnny? He was the North Carolina man accused of using a syringe to
shoot his sperm into the mouths of women while doing dental work. Yes, I
know, I hate to go to the dentist too, and it's guys like this that make
things tougher on the whole profession. Could be the reason why he's a
former dentist. The state board got to him before the Grand Jury, something
to do with the mentally and emotionally unfit for dentistry clause. You can
read their full charges on the
Smoking
Gun, but here's a taste. (Pardon).
LMH was a
dental patient under Respondent's care for approximately five years. On
one occasion, while LMH was being treated by Respondent, Respondent was in
the operatory with LMH without the assistant being present. While the
assistant was out of the room, Respondent told LMH that he was going to
put something in her mouth that would taste awful. Respondent put a
blunt-tipped syringe in LMH's mouth, injected a substance, and asked her
if she liked the taste. Respondent then had LMH rinse with mouth wash. The
substance Respondent injected into LMH's mouth was Respondent's semen.
And on and on, for ten pages. A
couple of the women got wise, particularly if they recognized the taste, but
of course no one believed them. It was when Hall's staff got suspicious and
took five of his syringes to a lab for testing that his career began
unraveling. When they tested positive for semen, the police came in to
search and found more syringes which also tested positive.
Hall, who calls the charges
bizarre and sensational, is not without an alibi. He was collecting his
semen in the syringes because he wanted to track any side effects of 'Propecia',
the hair-growth drug that has low sperm count as a possible side effect.
Yeah, that's the ticket. And he was collecting it after hours in his office
bathroom because, golly, that's not the sort of thing you want to do at
home.
If found guilty, Hall faces up
to 120 days in prison. Not much, true, but long enough for him to get a
taste of his own medicine.
